Doodle Bear: A Creative Way to Play

One year for Christmas, my sister got an amazing gift. I was so jealous! I asked her if I could play with it, all the time. I snuck it out of her room to play with, when she was gone. I loved that toy, and wanted one for my very own. This coveted toy was a Doodle Bear.

It seemed so amazing to me that you could draw on a teddy bear. Doodling little pictures and putting “makeup” on the Doodle Bear was so much fun. Unfortunately, my sister always noticed when I had doodled on her Doodle Bear, and then I was in trouble!

The Original Doodle Bear is back and better than ever.

The Doodle Bear comes in three colors: pink, purple, and blue. Each Doodle Bear has a cute outfit and shoes. The Doodle Bear comes with two markers, two stamps, and a sheet of stickers.

The body of the Doodle Bear is covered in hearts, butterflies, stars, and swirls. These designs are perfect for tracing with the markers, or your little artist can color and draw whatever they want.

To clean the Doodle Bear, simply put it in a pillowcase and run it through a normal wash cycle. It is recommended that the Doodle Bear is washed, within 48 hours of coloring, to avoid staining.

This holiday season you can also get the brand new Magic Glow Doodle Bear.

The Magic Glow Doodle Bear comes with one marker, one stamp, and a magic glow wand.

You can draw and doodle on the Magic Glow Doodle Bear, just like on the Original Doodle Bear. If you are in the dark, you can use the magic glow wand and doodle on the front of the Magic Glow Doodle Bear. Make sure and press firmly! The magic glow wand requires 3 LR44 batteries (which ARE included). I couldn’t get a good picture of the glowing doodles, but as you draw, the magic glow wand causes the designs to glow bright green. The glowing doodles last for between 5-8 minutes. They then fade and you can begin to doodle again.

To wash the Magic Glowing Doodle Bear, simply place the bear into a pillowcase and wash on a normal wash cycle.

When I washed the Original Doodle Bear, the designs washed away without a trace. I washed the Magic Glow Doodle Bear two times, but the designs I had drawn were still faintly visible.

I love that the Doodle Bear encourages creative play. It is not just another stuffed animal. Children can doodle, draw, and design all sorts of creations on the Doodle Bear’s unique fabric, and the new Magic Glowing Doodle Bear takes creativity to new heights. The Doodle Bear was given Creative Child Magazine’s 2014 Toy of the Year Award & The 2014 Creative Play of the Year Award.
